Recruit Volunteers with VolunteerMatch |
|
VolunteerMatch is a nonprofit, online service that matches prospective volunteers with organizations like SCORE, with over 1.3 million monthly visitors. This platform is a great way to engage with highly qualified volunteers to meet your chapter’s needs.
We’ve found that the more specific an opportunity is, the better. For example, SCORE Greater Seattle successfully recruited a social media manager and received 4 qualified applicants in 1 week of it being active. They then were able to form a Social Media Committee by onboarding more than 1 applicant.

Top Resources on SCORE.org |
|
The Top Resources on SCORE.org document lists the top 25 pages in FY21 to date, top 25 monthly workshops and resources, and the top 100 organic and on-site keywords on the national website. This document is updated monthly, and we suggest bookmarking it for future reference.

Image Guidelines & Resources |
|
Any images used on chapter websites should be photography captured by the chapter with permission from those pictured or stock images from our Getty Images subscription. Never use images obtained from Google image search or other websites as this could result in a license claim.
|
|
Chapters can now create Recorded Webinars on chapter sites. If your chapter is interested in hosting recorded webinars on the chapter site, we recommend storing webinar recordings on YouTube as an unlisted video. You can do this by downloading your recording and transcript from Zoom and uploading it to your chapter's YouTube account, and marking it as "unlisted."
-
If your chapter has a YouTube account, please add marketing@score.org as a Manager to ensure consistency in branding and help with access questions if there is volunteer turnover.
-
If your chapter does not have a YouTube account, email marketing@score.org and we will create a channel for you.
